Chapter 94 0091 [When the time is right, heaven and earth lend their strength] (Seeking first subscription)
Dormitory 404.

Jiang Junlai stared blankly at the thick stack of course schedules. He turned to Chen Guiliang and said, "The professor giving the lecture this afternoon is named Xu Lai. I heard that he started receiving state subsidies more than ten years ago. He is also a direct disciple of Zhang Dainian and Feng Youlan."

"That's pretty awesome," Chen Guiliang said.

Jiang Junlai asked, "Who are Zhang Dainian and Feng Youlan?"

"All you need to know is that they're incredibly awesome." Chen Guiliang was too lazy to explain, as it wouldn't make sense in just a few words.

Before the start of the semester, professors from the Yuanpei Class gave lectures every day. They were invited by the department leaders to persuade freshmen to choose courses from related departments.

Chen Guiliang knew about Professor Xu Lai before his rebirth.

In ancient terms, Xu Lai would now be considered a "great Confucian scholar".

Ten years later, his "Ontology of Benevolence" was published, and he directly entered the realm of "master" of Confucianism.

Moreover, his theory is helpful for the construction of socialist spiritual civilization and has been listed as one of the top ten original theories in the field of Chinese philosophy and social sciences.

The other nine original theories are all works by prominent figures.

One of the bigwigs in the economy swam across the river carrying a basketball. And yes, this bigwig will be joining Peking University next year, and will also be a part-time tutor in the Yuanpei Program.

"Shall we go for a visit to Weiming Lake?"

Deng Chen and Yun Fan from the dorm across the hall ran over.

As Chen Guiliang organized his application materials, he said, "I'll go another day."

Jiang Junlai glanced at him and said, "You're really going to start a company?"

"Let's open one for fun," Chen Guiliang said.

Deng Chen and Yun Fan didn't say anything, but they admired him greatly.

Damn it, school hasn't officially started yet!

While they were struggling to choose which courses and clubs to join, this guy just started a company.

Deng Chen glanced at the empty bed with the suitcase on it: "This senior brother hasn't moved in yet?"

Jiang Junlai said, "I heard he was a deity, who may have gone on a journey somewhere."

Chen Guiliang slung his backpack over his shoulder and said, "You two can chat slowly."

"and many more!"

The four of them set off together, walked about a hundred meters, and rented bicycles near the 28th floor.

Chen Guiliang rode his bicycle from the South Gate to the East Gate, making a half-circle around the Peking University campus.

The other three rode their bikes to rent cameras, planning to take photos at Weiming Lake and the main gate of Peking University.

The Peking University Science Park is currently a huge construction site, with buildings being constructed and expanded everywhere this year. Office areas have been temporarily moved and concentrated in the Innovation Center.

Chen Guiliang locked his bicycle outside and asked his way to the incubation service department.

"Boom boom boom!"

The door was ajar, and Chen Guiliang knocked and asked, "Teacher, may I come in?"

"Come in," someone inside replied.

Perhaps because other places are under construction, the entire incubation service department has been crammed into this place, with several people working inside.

One or two people were busy, while the rest were playing on their computers.

"Excuse me, which professor should I contact to apply for the project?" Chen Guiliang asked.

A man in his forties with a receding hairline turned off the Minesweeper game on his computer and said, "Come here. Are the materials ready?"

Chen Guiliang opened his schoolbag: "I'm ready, teacher, please take a look."

The slightly balding man took the document, glanced at it, and then looked up at Chen Guiliang in surprise: "A freshman?"

“Yes,” Chen Guiliang said.

The balding man was both amused and exasperated. He handed the materials back to Chen Guiliang, saying, "You haven't even officially started school yet. What kind of project are you doing, starting a company? Go back and study hard. Freshman year is the time to build a foundation."

Chen Guiliang asked, "Can't freshmen start a company?"

The slightly balding man said, "It's possible. But what can you do in your first year of university?"

Before Chen Guiliang could answer, an older woman at another desk laughed and said, "Young man, don't rush into starting a business. Focus on your basic courses in your freshman year and get to know more teachers and classmates. When you're in your sophomore year, you'll have teachers to guide you and classmates to be your partners. It's not too late to start a business when the conditions are right."

Chen Guiliang took out the simple set of Three Kingdoms Kill cards: "Teacher, you can take a look at this first."

"Fine, I doubt you'll listen to any advice."

The slightly balding man carefully read the business plan and began studying the Three Kingdoms Kill card game.

Ten minutes later, he smiled and said, "That's interesting. Fill out the project application form, leave your things here, and I can submit it for you. It should pass the review. I'll call you then, and you can come over to sign an entry agreement."

"How long will it take?" Chen Guiliang asked.

The slightly balding man said, "It could take as little as fifteen days, or as long as one or two months. You can ask the administration and logistics department; they'll tell you what materials you need to prepare when you move in."

"Thank you, teacher. I won't bother you any longer." Chen Guiliang bowed and withdrew.

The administrative and logistics department is just a short distance away.

This department is responsible for business registration, tax and accounting services, as well as office space allocation and equipment maintenance.

The staff member who greeted Chen Guiliang was quite young and much more enthusiastic than the slightly balding middle-aged man from before. Chen Guiliang quickly explained the situation.

The young staff member took out paper and pen and asked him to write down the materials he needed to submit, then reminded him, "If you want to sell physical cards, you need to apply for a 'Publication Business License.' Selling without a license is considered operating an illegal publication business."

Chen Guiliang certainly knew, but he was unaware of the situation in 2004, so he came to inquire about it today.

He then asked what licenses and permits are needed to operate an online game business.

It has been confirmed that a game license is not required!
As long as other business licenses are compliant, any game can be launched, unlike later when it was severely restricted.

"Can the teacher help me apply for those licenses?" Chen Guiliang asked again.

The young staff member said, "Sure, just pay a processing fee."

Chen Guiliang inquired in more detail and discovered that they could handle everything here, and the fees were very cheap.

The young staff member suggested, "After you design the physical cards, I'll help you apply for trademarks and register copyrights. Then you can find a factory to print them. After printing, you can't sell them without a publication license, so you can find a qualified company to act as your agent. Applying for the license yourself is too troublesome; you need a real warehouse and business premises."

The man didn't finish his sentence, but Chen Guiliang understood.

Before obtaining a publication license or finding an agent, it's fine to sell a few sets of cards privately on a small scale.

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher," Chen Guiliang said sincerely.

Once you successfully register at Peking University Science Park, you don't even need a physical office space; you can simply pay an annual fee of 2000 yuan to have your registered address provided. Three years of free financial and tax agency services are also included.

The incubation service department will track his business growth and help him apply for relevant policies when appropriate.

Once a business reaches a certain stage, they will also help connect the company with financing.

If Chen Guiliang's company achieves annual revenue or annual profit growth of more than 25% for three consecutive years and reaches a certain revenue threshold, it can apply to join the Zhongguancun "Gazelle Program".

Companies selected for the Gazelle Program will receive: direct government subsidies, bank loan subsidies, and priority investment from venture capital firms. They will also enjoy a three-year tax exemption followed by a three-year 50% tax reduction on corporate income tax. Furthermore, they will receive subsidies for attracting high-level talent and may obtain Beijing residency. They will be granted R&D or production land at preferential prices and will receive official publicity.

ByteDance originated from the "Gazelle Project".

Chen Guiliang left the innovation center and rode his bicycle around.

He looked at the Peking University Science Park, which was expanding everywhere, and hoped that these buildings would be completed soon, as one of them might become his company's office.

Chen Guiliang caught a good time.

This year, Peking University Science Park has been expanding rapidly and has also relaxed its application requirements.

If he had come last year, it would probably have been much more difficult.

When times come, heaven and earth all work together!
The phone rang, and Chen Guiliang pulled over to the side of the road.

"Aunt Xue, long-distance calls are very expensive," Chen Guiliang said.

Tao Xue said, "I know, I just couldn't help calling you. I've been holding back for days, and texting is just so boring."

"get out of class is over?" Chen Guiliang asked.

Tao Xue said, "Yeah, I'm calling you from the grove next to the restroom. Hehe, the principal praised you during the flag-raising ceremony a few days ago when school started."

"What did you praise me for?" Chen Guiliang asked.

Tao Xue said, "The principal praised you for studying so hard that you forgot to eat and sleep, almost saying that you studied by the light of a hole in the wall. The owner of the book rental shop at the school gate also often said that you rented books from him and that you and Guo Xiaosi won the first prize in the New Concept Writing Competition because you read his books."

"Haha, looks like I'm pretty awesome, people are even using me as a figurehead," Chen Guiliang laughed.

Tao Xue laughed and said, "Hehe, my brother also said it's amazing."

Chen Guiliang pushed his bicycle while making a phone call. By the time he hung up, he had reached the southeast gate.

He had never been outside the school before, so he rode his bike in and wandered around aimlessly, asking anyone who looked like an upperclassman, "Senior, how do I get to Wusi Road?"

"Keep going straight ahead to the end, then south, then west..."

Chen Guiliang was not used to this way of referring to directions, as he had studied, lived, and worked in the south in his previous life, where people used front, back, left, and right to indicate directions.

Riding my bicycle, before I even reached Wusi Road, I could see many recruitment booths from various community groups in the distance.

Further north, in Triangle Area and Hundred Lectures Square, there are numerous student organizations recruiting new members.

Commonly known as the Hundred Regiments Offensive.

As Chen Guiliang rode his bicycle, he was greeted enthusiastically by senior students who tried to persuade him to join a club.

After circling around for a full twenty minutes, Chen Guiliang squeezed the brakes.

Several roll-up banners were placed along the roadside ahead. In addition to recruitment information for clubs, they also featured numerous anime characters such as Inuyasha, Gundam, and Hikaru no Go.

"Junior brother, do you like anime too?"

A senior female student handed over a flyer: "Our Yuanhuo Club's mission is to promote anime culture and serve anime enthusiasts. If you join the Yuanhuo Anime Club..."

Chen Guiliang took a recruitment flyer, listened patiently to the senior female student finish speaking, and grinned, "Do you accept commercial orders?"

"Huh?" The senior sister didn't understand.

Chen Guiliang said, "I made a set of game cards, and I plan to turn it into an online game in the future. I need original artwork created for the cards. Does anyone at Yuanhuo Studio have the commission? The price is negotiable."

That's the advantage of prestigious universities; you can find cheap and high-quality workers anytime, anywhere.

These days, second-generation anime fans are probably easier to fool.
